Why Awbrey Butte in Bend, Oregon, Might Just Be the Slice of Heaven You're Looking for

 Hey there, friends and future neighbors! Today, we're taking a casual stroll through one of Bend, Oregon's most prestigious neighborhoods: Awbrey Butte. It's a place that has me a bit torn, to be honest. On one hand, it's like stepping into a nature postcard you never want to leave. On the other hand, those '80s and '90s home styles? They're not everyone's cup of tea. But let's dive in and see why Awbrey Butte has been turning heads for nearly four decades!

A Little History Lesson

Once upon a time, in the heart of Bend, there stood a big old butte. Yes, "butte" – never gets old, right? Enter legendary developer Mike Hollern of Brooks Resources, who looked at this hill in the '70s and thought, "Let's make something awesome here." After battling the elements and the city planners, they managed to carve out a neighborhood that's more than just houses – it's a sanctuary.

Living the Dream

Living in Awbrey Butte is akin to having a permanent VIP pass to Mother Nature's best work. The views? Stellar. The vibes? Cozy cabin in the woods meets modern living. It's all about the environment and surroundings here. Plus, the neighborhood's parks – Summit, Sylvan, and Hillside – are the cherries on top of this natural paradise cake.

Community Perks

Awbrey Butte isn't just about pretty views (though, let's be honest, they're a huge draw). It's also about community. With an HOA that keeps things looking pristine and amenities that include tennis and pickleball courts, you're getting the small-town feel with big-city perks. And wildlife? It's like having your own personal nature documentary right outside your window.

Let's Talk Homes

Despite my quibbles with some of the '80s and '90s architecture (no offense intended to lovers of the era), Awbrey Butte stands out as one of Bend's most luxurious neighborhoods. Currently, homes range from cozy to "Is that a castle?" with prices reflecting the desirability of the location. Whether you're looking for a grand estate or something a tad more humble, there's something for you here.
